this is a machine from a few years ago running mach 4. I am trying to cut something with gcode made in aspire. it stops mid cut and i cant figure out why. it jogs fine and if i reset the file it will run up until the same point every time, then it just stops moving. the spindle is still running. it is acting as if i am hitting the feed stop button. anyone have an idea of what to look into? it happens at line 233 of the attached gcode.

yes it says x axis commanded over soft max, but that isnt true
i found a setting that was wrong. thank you. i don’t know why i didn’t look there in the first place.
I thought i should add this for anyone else that ends up with this problem…. It wasn’t commanding it to go over the soft limit yet, but it was going to later in the code. Mach must look ahead a few lines when it decides this.
Yep, it looks ahead a couple hundred lines. Thats the tricky part about that error, it can be hard to find. However, if you look at the graphics of the toolpath, you can usually see where the problem is if you have the soft limits and everything turned on.
